LEAGUE INFO…
Recap…
Tuesday, July 15th was the 13th official week and second
KnockDown of the DUFFERS 2008 season. The
weather was typical Cleveland mid-July with mostly sunny skies and mid
80-degree temperatures. Thanks again
to Pete White, Todd Cramer, and Alex Martinez for their efforts putting on
FunNite #2! KnockDown #2 was played last night, check out the
results on the home page. Round #3 of
the Match Play Tournament got started last night but there were no matches
played. Attendance was below
average with only 42 of 50 members (84%) and 4 guests making their way
around the back nine. Member
attendance for the year has dipped back to 92%, while total attendance,
including guests and make-up rounds is an incredible
100%!

REMEMBER,
you have one week to play your make-up round.
You must play the same side that the league was originally
scheduled to play. Turn your scorecards
in to a Creekwood Clubhouse Counter Staff Member, asking them to place it in
the Duffer File, or give it to Stanny on Tuesday.
With 50 members and the NASA league ahead of us, the Duffers MUST
play READY GOLF!
Be ready to hit when it’s your turn.
Plan in advance; think about your up-coming shot while you’re
approaching the ball and go ahead and hit it if there is no one else in the
vicinity, regardless of who has honors.
If you are not in another player’s way, line up your putt while
another player is hitting his. Regardless
of the ‘beer girl’ not everyone in the foursome needs to hang around
the beer cart when she is present, someone should be hitting the ball while
others are buying the beer. Please
recognize that ‘your proper position on the
golf course is behind the group in front of you, NOT in front of the group
behind you!’

dictates that they buy you a drink, or be heckled miserably!
NOTE… PLEASE DON’T PREMATURELY CIRCLE YOUR BIRDIES ON THE SKIN SHEET! It’s a pretty television graphic
presentation BUT it makes it VERY DIFFICULT to see the TRUE SKINS!
Reminder to all Skin
Players…
This Year’s Skin Game is open to all dues paid MEMBERS (no guests). Game entry (payment and entry indication)
must be made prior to teeing off.
Posting
and/or paying after your round is completed, is not permitted.
MORON’S
CORNER… (Formerly JETHRO CIPHERS)
This is the spot where I will highlight (low light) the SPECIAL
skills of Duffers and their simplistic mathematic disabilities.
The corner is empty again this week…. Good
work all you Duffers!
a friendly REMINDER…
It is each and every
member’s personal responsibility to insure that his own score is CORRECTLY
recorded (both gross and net) on the weekly skin / work sheet. Even though
you may not have been the person keeping score for the foursome, it is your
duty to insure that it was done correctly! Do it right and
you won’t end up listed in the “Moron’s Corner”!
LARRY LAHIFF'S SKIN
GAMES…
are a great way to s t r e t c
h the summer holiday weekends and
play a round of golf with friends at one of the areas FINEST golf courses.
This year’s remaining date is Friday, August 29th at Eagle Creek GC
in Norwalk. The first tee time is ~9:30 and everyone is welcome to attend.
See Larry for further details or if you have any questions.
